    I've sung everything from hymns and classical to madrigal and modern music, and I can tell you categorically that this style is immensely technically difficult.
    It requires very strong vocal physiology, prefect pitch, a precise "ear" able to overcome acoustically variant venues...
    That these guys are able to make it look easy is testament to an extremely highly honed of skill and talent.

    This was fucking awesome! Thank god I can read music because I wouldn't have watched it otherwise. I LOVE barbershop quartet music. HUGE fan of Mike Rowe. If you don't know who he is look him up under dirty jobs and then google his name for barbershop quartet. That man has such an amazing voice

    It's so nice to watch another performance by this group. They are (were?) truly among the very best and SOOOO FUNNY as well. Extremely difficult close harmony requiring great ears, voices and concentration and many, many hours of work.

    I started a quartet in highschool and we did a similar bit in 2003 and it's so much fun.
    Let's all sing and recognize/harmonize the fun songs that happen all the time.

    Excellent. I noticed the "Barbershop Harmony Society" backdrop, a change that I was not aware of until now though I see that technically it's still the SPEBSQSA (admittedly not always a catchy title) 😅 Anyway, five decades ago I had the pleasure of belonging to a local chapter with my Dad for a few years, and it was a wonderful fellowship that I wish lots of young men could try. As Cervantes said "He who sings frightens away his ills."
